LANE : Installations, Paintings and Works on Paper: Vol. 64-200
Opening Reception: Friday, May 17, 6-9 PM
LANE’S art explores duality of forms and meanings through a combination of paint, canvas, books, political writings and anonymous diaries. In their totality, they present a survey of subtle corridors between representation and abstraction, image and text, as well as individual and collective identities in the East and the West. LANE accumulates elements for his installations from studio locations in New York and Beijing. The artist collects the discarded diaries of workers from the era of the Chinese Cultural Revolution and juxtaposes excerpts from his own writings on these historic and yet forgotten texts.

SAM STILL
Opening Reception: April 5, 2013, 6-9 PM
287 Spring is honored to present the first solo New York exhibition of Sam Still, an artist who makes small and large format burnished black ink drawings. Methodically applying layer after layer of brushstrokes on rag paper, Sam incorporates meditative qualities of calligraphy into his art. The abstract shapes, with their obsessively calculated edges and radii, provide stark contrast to subtle variations in the color and texture. Engaged in a prolonged dialog with each other and with the viewer, the drawings can be seen as studies in the dichotomy of an object and the process of its creation.

Robin Glass: Rice and Beans
Opening Reception: March 8, 6-9 PM
“Rice and Beans” – a video installation by Robin Glass – is a collective portrait of humanity, with its recurring, compulsive, and absurd need to polarize. It is a poem of interventions – subversive and courageous acts of crossing boundaries to reach our invented opposites. This work is a gracefully provocative attempt to tread a vital path through the crevasses of our myopic binary beliefs.

MICHEL NAFZIGER : REVELATIONS
Opening Reception: January 25, 6-9 PM
Photographer Michel Nafziger envisions the female nude as a revelation. A revelation of the form and raw emotion, momentary and spontaneous, yet captured cautiously through prolonged exposure. The body’s graceful movement - echoing the refined classicism of Venus and the Odalisque, of Velasquez and Ingres - is enhanced by a photographic technique invoking, in its subtlety and seduction, the modernist opacity of Modigliani’s nudes. Nafziger’s first solo show in New York, featuring large-scale prints and an edition of portfolios, is a masterful revelation of his unique sensibility, at once strikingly classical and modern.
